GaliLEA’s Priorities
Galilea Martinez is experienced, effective, and ready on day one.
Galilea’s work has always been centered on equity and justice. Ensuring a level playing field for all, especially creating moments of opportunity in civic for Latinos. She hopes to continue this work as a board member for OKCPS. Having grown up in the district she understands first hand the realities students and parents face in choosing the best education. She understands the complexities and realities of being a student within these zip codes. More so, so she knows there are teachers, administrators, and parents fighting everyday to give their students the best possible future. As a board member she’ll be a sounding board for the district. Advocating for their needs and leveling the playing field to ensure equity is found in every classroom and beyond.
Galilea is the right choice for District 7.
She’s ready. But she can’t run this race without our help.

On the OKCPS Board, she will:
Ensure Safe, Welcoming Schools.
Every student should feel safe, respected, and ready to learn the moment they walk on campus. Galilea will push for strong, common-sense safety practices, including clear plans, well-trained staff, and attention to bullying and harassment. Safety also means student well-being, with better access to counseling and supports that keep kids steady and focused. When students feel protected and cared for, learning improves.
Support & Keep Great Teachers.
Strong schools require strong teachers, and OKCPS has to be a place where great educators want to stay. Galilea will advocate for practical support: the classroom supplies teachers need, better working conditions, and leadership that listens. She will prioritize keeping experienced teachers and building a reliable pipeline for new ones, including mentorship and training. When teachers are supported, students get better instruction every day.
Emphasize Academic Growth Beyond Test Scores.
OKCPS should invest in students’ dreams, not just their test results. Galilea will focus on strong fundamentals like reading and math, plus tutoring and catch-up help for students who need it. She’ll support pathways that fit different goals, including college prep, career training, and real-world skills. Families deserve clear, honest updates on what’s working and what needs to change.
Build Strong Family Engagement & Two-Way Communication.
Parents and caregivers should be treated like true partners, not an afterthought. Galilea will push for consistent, plain-language communication from schools, including strong Spanish-language access and outreach that meets families where they are. She’ll support school-community partnerships that bring in mentors, enrichment programs, and resources for families.
